AG Garland Calls for 'Speedy Trial' in Trump's Election Interference Case

Despite pushback from Trump's legal team, Garland defends the Justice Department against allegations of political bias, stating that the department is following the law and the facts.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has stated that he agrees with special counsel Jack Smith's assertion that the public interest requires a 'speedy trial' for former President Donald Trump's election interference case.
Trump's legal team has been trying to delay the court proceedings, while prosecutors have been pushing for the trials to take place as soon as possible ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Trump's election interference case is currently scheduled to go to trial in March, but this could be postponed due to Trump's claim of presidential immunity from prosecution.
Garland has defended the Justice Department against allegations of political bias, stating that the department is following the law and the facts.
It remains unclear whether the election interference case, or the other three criminal cases Trump faces, will go to trial before the 2024 presidential election.
